Verify Method

Verifies a digitally signed CAdES message.

Syntax

cadesverifier.verify([callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

CAdESVerifier supports two types of signatures: enveloping and detached. In the enveloping case, both the data and the signature travel in the same 'combined' message. The detached variant observes the signature and the data (in its original form) residing in different files.

Call this method to verify enveloping signatures provided via InputStream or InputFile property, and extract the embedded data to OutputFile or OutputStream. Use VerifyDetached to verify detached signatures.
